Pandorum Review.




Anybody wanting an intelligent, insightful, or mesmerizing motion picture should re-just they're expectations before walking into Pandorum . I went in expecting some mild entertainment/horror. However, I came out with my expectations blown away. This film makes me recall Aliens film in which people are trapped in claustrophobic environments. And although the pacing is frenetic at times, the movie is really chillingly shot by Wedigo von Schultzendorff.

In my opinion, this is the best sci-fi/horror film to hit the major screens since Alien, The Thing, and Aliens. I viewed Pandorum yesterday and without question, Pandorum is one of my favorite horror films. Pandorum has it all, from dark scenes, fast moving monsters, gore(it doesn't go overboard there), isolation…it's all there and more. In fact, I haven't felt this much realistic isolation and since Carpenter's 'The Thing'. Yes, I loved this movie! It's definitely one you want to see plastered on the big screen.


To Pandorum's credit, however, there are a few unforeseen plot twists before the credits roll. You'll be very surprised. I'd rate this movie 4 out of 5 stars.
